Our team works together to treat residents who have had strokes, brain injuries, amputations, swallowing difficulties, joint replacements, or generalized weakness due to chronic illness. We develop individualized therapy programs for each person. Our goal is to help residents reach their highest possible level of functioning. After successful treatment, the resident is often able to return to their own home, or transfer to a setting which provides a lesser level of care.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gem-youtube gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-no-style rounded-corners gem-wrapbox-position-below\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner gem-ratio-style\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%\"><iframe class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gObnjNUPWc8?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Jason Anderson, RPT, a licensed physical therapist<br \/>\nShannon Young, OTR\/L, a registered, licensed occupational therapist<br \/>\nCarmen Bender, COTA, a certified occupational therapy assistant<br \/>\nValerie Glynn, SLP, a licensed speech\/language pathologist[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;PHYSICAL THERAPY&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h6|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1538684030616{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Physical therapy involves treatment which focuses on improving a person\u2019s function, whether it is related to bones, joints, muscles, or nerves. Typically, an individual\u2019s physical function has been impaired in some manner as a result of an injury, disease process, wear and tear, or as part of the aging process. When treating older individuals, physical therapists often address the following issues:[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gem-list gem-list-type-checkbox\" ><ul>\n<li>Pain<\/li>\n<li>Deconditioning<\/li>\n<li>Impaired balance and gait<\/li>\n<li>Decreased mobility<\/li>\n<li>Poor endurance<\/li>\n<li>Poor muscle strength<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]Physical therapists also provide therapeutic programs to regain strength and mobility.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h6|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1538684075064{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Occupational therapy includes treatment which deals with helping a person achieve independence in his\/her daily life. Occupational therapists typically focus on a person\u2019s daily living skills, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and cooking. The therapists are trained to adapt the environment, modify tasks, teach new skills, and provide ongoing education to individuals and their family members. Therapists often help identify problems and make recommendations for improvement. Recommendations are sometimes made for such adaptive equipment as rolling walkers, tub benches, commodes, adaptive eating utensils, reachers, long-handled shoehorns, and low vision aids.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;SPEECH THERAPY&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h6|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1542837118724{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Speech therapy, more properly referred to as speech\/language pathology, includes treatment designed to improve a person\u2019s ability to communicate effectively and eat and drink safely. Speech therapists work to rehabilitate those with language, voice, cognition, and\/or swallowing difficulties related to aging, or following stroke, traumatic brain injury, infection, or other neurological conditions or disease processes. The goal of speech therapy is to enhance a person\u2019s ability to communicate with family and friends, meet their own nutritional needs safely, and make appropriate decisions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;RESTORATIVE THERAPY&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h6|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1547655416513{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Once our professional therapists have helped a resident reach their rehabilitation goals, often they are able to return to their home or another setting.
